Sometimes, you have long filenames for your supplies and for whatever reason, you would like to shorten them. Doing it manually, one file at a time is tedious to say the least.
This script will let you choose what prefix you want to replace and by what. You can replace a long name by a shorter one, or by some initials. You can even change the name of the kit on all your files if you want. Although I expect you to use the script to shorten the names, you can just change them instead.

For today's free sample, I created a series of summer-themed phrase strips. A set of 15 strips are available for you to embellish any summer project.

Another way to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase in a unique way on your project.
For a sample, I created four seasonal tags and left the rectangle with lines so you could add your own message or customize the tag further. You can distress it, stain it, add a stamp to it, etc. Then, tie it to something with a string or a ring.
Gradients can be really helpful to create unique patterns, but in order to make such a tile, you have to create a new gradient every time. That is tedious and a lot of work since you might not need those gradients afterward.
For a sample, I used the color palette from the DigitalScrapbook July 2023 blog train, and generated 16 different tiles. Each tile is 400x400 pixels in jpg format so you should be able to use them in most graphic programs.
This is the third of the series of edge punches. Just like the punches you would get to cut out the edges of traditional paper products, you can use the Eraser tool to cut out of the edge of your digital element.
For a sample, I created a template for a greeting card. It is simply in png format so it can be used in any program. If you have a cutting machine, you can cut this card for a unique effect, once you have customized and printed it.
With this script, you will get some custom masks to showcase sections of your photo. You can either keep a section intact or convert that section to a series of curly lines.
As a sample, I ran the script on a black image, and selected the central area to create the mask. The result is a simple jpg mask that you can use to showcase a panoramic photo, or simply focus on a horizontal section of a non-panoramic photo.
There are so many ways to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase to a project. This script will let you choose a main word/date to place in the center, with your choice of font. In addition, you can select the words to add in the top and bottom corners.
As a sampler, I created a set of "blank" datestamps with the days of the week. You can add whatever you want in the center area. Since they are all in greyscale, you can colorize them however you want.
This new script will create some seamless scale patterns with any color palette you want.
As a sample, I created 3 seamless tiles with green shades to go with a possible dinosaur theme. Of course, you can also use those with a garden theme or anything else. There is also a full-size paper with randomized greens. All the elements used the same color palette so they should match if you want to use them together.
Although you can create a painted frame manually, sometimes, you want to save time and work and create a simple yet precise frame that still looks hand drawn. This script will do that for you in just a few seconds.
For samplers, I created two double frames with the script, on a 5x7 photo. Since both layers are left separate, I changed the color of one of the two to create something more interesting. I used the colors from the June blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com.
It can be fun to display photos on a string, and in digital projects, it is just as easy, although it can be tedious to resize, move, rotate and attach all the photos on one image. That is why I coded this script.
As a sampler, I created this layered template where you can display 10 photos of your choice. The template is in .pspimage format and you simply have to put the photos into the individual mask groups.
It might be easy to create a swatch palette in PaintShop Pro, but if you are starting with a large number of colors, it can be tedious. And referring to the same image whenever you are working on a project can also be annoying.
As a sampler, I used the color palettes for the next three blog trains in the DigitalScrapbook.com forum and converted them into palettes you can simply add to your PSP. Two versions of the palettes are available: one for versions 9-X6 (identified with V9 in the name) and one for versions X7 and up (identified with VX7 in the name). Unzip the ones you need for your version and save the files (or the whole folder for versions X7 and up) in the Swatches folder of your PSP. Since they are different for different versions, don't put everything in the same place, if you have earlier and older versions of PSP referring to the same content folder. If needed, simply put them in the default folders, in Documents.
